Dr Iyad Khoudeir | Neurologist

Welcome to my website!

This is a place and a space where my patients and I can meet. Bring your own coffee!

Patients need compassion and empathy first, which doctors should demonstrate. As a neurologist I feel the patient needs to feel that he/she has been listened to and understood by giving him/her the necessary time and focus to reach a proper diagnosis and management for his/her health problems.

Every patient is, above all, a different “person” that is why I do my best to provide personalised and person-centred care. I consider patient education essential for a better understanding of the medical condition, better compliance with the management plan, and most importantly, to remove any anxiety normally generated by the fear of being sick and more so…” My brain”, “My nerves”! As much as possible, I engage the patient and his family in a shared decision approach, the patient has “his word” to say in how his condition would be managed.

About Me

I was born and raised in the unique city of Aleppo, Syria.

I have received my medical degree from the University of Cluj, Romania.
I completed my Neurology qualification from Bordeaux University, France in 1991 followed by University Diplomas in Clinical Neurophysiology in 1992 from University of Paris and in Sleep disorders in 1993 from University of Bordeaux. My passion for neurophysiology motivated me to pursue further studies, leading me to obtain a Master’s degree in Clinical Neurophysiology from the University of Barcelona in 2011.

More than 25 years of experience in clinical practice gave me the necessary expertise to give my patients the best neurology care in Dubai. I have long experience in the Gulf countries: KSA and UAE. In Riyad, I had the clinical experience of a tertiary reference, very busy hospital: the “Riyadh Medical Complex.” I also had high-quality Neurophysiology at the King Faisal Hospital and very valuable experience in private practice at Kingdom Hospital.

My experience with Dr Iyad is extremely positive. He is the kind of doctor who actually spends time listening to their patients trying to understand the situation before jumping to any conclusion, which in my experience is not that often. He knows his stuff very well. I had to do quite unpleasant neuro tests, he and his nurse were very professional, kind and supportive. I would definitely recommend Dr Iyad and if I need to do further neurology testing/treatment, will come back again

Dr Iyad has been taking care of me since I was first diagnosed with my condition back in 2019. From my first appointment I felt that he was a warm, kind and caring Dr. He went above and beyond to help me deal with my diagnosis and always ensured I got the best care and medication choices possible. I feel very safe in his care and I feel very lucky that he’s my Dr. iyad

Dr. Iyad knows perfectly his trade inside out, is confident, and assertive, and can guide and advise even under the most high-pressure times. An exceptional doctor who challenges the status quo and aims to bring out my highest potential and ensure my well-being. Dr. Iyad finally helped get me on the right regimen, and tests to alleviate my condition. With his expertise, my condition is manageable. His nurse (Niru) and Neurophysiologist (Ate Karol) are also superb!!! I am so lucky that I was under your wing, Dr. Iyad.

Dr. Iyad is one of the very few doctors that looked at my case holistically and focused on solving the root cause of the issue. Excellent doctor, very experienced and very pleasant.

Happy to find this knowledgeable, intelligent, professional doctor, whose great sense of humor lightens the mood. Doctor Iyad will never let you be alone with your pain and fears. He listens very carefully. He will help, place the right diagnosis, give the exact solution. As in my case, he spent more than 3 (!) hours of his overtime (!), conducting neurological tests, required to make clear picture of my severe pain origin. Thank you, Doctor Iyad, for you being not only talanted doctor, but wonderful, caring person! And best regards to Carol, who is definitely a perfect assistant of yours.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Iyad for over 11 years, and he is truly an amazing neurologist and person. His expertise, compassion, and dedication to his patients are unmatched. Dr. Iyad always takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and create a treatment plan that works best for me. His care and attention to detail have made a huge difference in my life. What I love most is his personality—he’s warm, approachable, and has a great sense of humor that makes every visit enjoyable. Over the years, he’s become more than just my doctor; he feels like a friend. If you’re looking for a skilled and caring neurologist, I can’t recommend Dr. Iyad enough. Thank you, Dr. Iyad, for over a decade of incredible care!

I have been suffering from severe migraine for more than a decade and I have consulted with a number of different Neurologists, and all I can say is that Dr. Iyad is the messiah for all those who are suffering from migraine. Since i have consulted with him, my migraine attacks from 8-10 per month has reduced to one to none - incredible! He is the type of doctor who listens to and cares for his patients. I am truly grateful that he was recommended to me. My quality of life has definitely improved!

I have been experiencing migraine attacks for more than three years now. For people who are not familiar with migraine, they would say pain from it is just like a normal headache and can go away by just taking tablets, though its not. In my previous work I used up all my available sick leaves and was forced to go to work even while unable to concentrate because of the pain. And I even had to resign because of frequent migraine attacks. I met with several doctors, gone thru several tests, took different medicines but attacks are still there. Until I was referred to Dr. Iyad in Mediclinic Dubai Mall. He will patiently study your case and carefully follow your history. He gave me medicine to be taken daily and another one when there is an attack. I took that pill on one attack and the pain is gone in AN HOUR! I am just really happy, I met the perfect doctor to treat my migraine problem. Greatly recommended!!
